Description
Steatomys Peters, 1846. Bericht Verhandl. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 11:258.
TYPE SPECIES: Steatomys pratensis Peters, 1846.
COMMENTS: Reviewed by Coetzee (1977a). Rosevear (1969) provided an excellent review of the West African species, and Swanepoel and Schütter (1978) produced a more comprehensive revision of them. Still, the widely distributed species such as S. pratensis and S. parvus need careful systematic revision to better resolve actual diversity of species represented in samples and their geographic ranges.
